Cannot drag connector to specific place on object

[bunce....@gmail.com]

StarUML 3.0.1 running on Win10

Connect an object to another one (e.g. component diagram). Connector defaults to somewhere near the middle. Can select the connect to drag its endpoint but when released the connector goes back to its original position. Can "bend" the line but this is not what is needed.

Very annoying. is this intentional?

Hi Bruce,

It's not clear what is your problem. Please explain in detail

1. Which connector you use? (Dependency? Interface Realization? Communication Path?, Link?, ...)

2. From what object (Component? Artifact? Object? Interface?, ...) to what object ?.

Thanks,

StarUML Team

I ran into the same issue. Try this:

• Select the connector line in the diagram.
• Change the Line Style (located in the Editors pane) to Rectilinear (Oblique is the default, which draws center to center.)
• Adjust the line segments as required.

You can add additional segments by moving a particular rectilinear line segment outside of the bounding area of the nearest connected element. (It sounds more complicated than it is, just move the segments and you'll see how they work.)

 I can vouch for that too.

 Using the component diagram, I cannot connect a port to an class directly - only port to port.

 To circumvent this problem, I have to add a port to the receiving class, attach the connector to that port, then drag the connector from the port to the class itself.

 Then it connects correctly - proving that it was legal in the first place (as of course it is).

 I use StarUML at work as a trial product in order to evaluate its usage.

 To be honest, I think it is GREAT !

 

 The engineers have done a terrific job here.

 If they would correct that problem, I would ask my boss to buy a licence.

Hi John,

"Connector" cannot be connected from a "Part" to a "Class" directly. It's not a problem and it is conformance to UML standard semantics.

Please check the content and metamodel in the UML Standard Specification (https://www.omg.org/spec/UML/About-UML/).

Thanks,
